Got my score back today, and I wasn’t just disappointed, I am flat out devastated. 12-14 hour days studying for the past two years, skipping summers, weekends, and spending time with my family in hopes of pursuing my dream of Neurosurgery. I missed essential parts of my first daughter growing up for a dream I can no longer pursue. It’s total crap that you can work your ass off, gets straight A’s in classes, all for one test to define you. One bad day. I did over 8000 practice questions, read first aid twice, matured a ton of anki, did sketchy, uworld, Amboss, pathoma, boards and beyond, literally everything. Then I turned around and took the Comlex a few days later all for what? For nothing. I could have been phenomenal in my field, I had the drive and passion to do it. Now you’ll see me wandering the halls, being mediocre at something else. Cheers
